<p>City's patchy form continued on Tuesday as the defending <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/man-city-player-ratings-vs-brentford-phil-foden-kevin-de-bruyne/blte2be4787c08a5950" target="_blank">Premier League champions threw away a two-goal lead</a> to draw 2-2 at Brentford. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/watch-pep-guardiola-fumes-stefan-ortega-man-city-brentford/blt1cab723f9c6dfd20#cs2db47d8d417ada55" target="_blank">Guardiola was spotted raging at his goalkeeper</a> at the final whistle and later <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/pep-guardiola-reveals-what-he-said-to-stefan-ortega-bizarre-outburst-man-city-s-collapse-brentford-swipe-at-phil-foden-leggy-admission/blt5eea404b24c97c83#csf72532df3eb17e4f" target="_blank">claimed he had been telling Ortega how well he had played</a>.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>However, an expert lip-reader has analysed the footage and believes Guardiola had wanted Ortega to slow the game down and waste time before Brentford made it 2-2. The Bees managed to salvage a point when Christian Norgaard grabbed an equaliser in the second minute of stoppage time.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Lip-reading expert Jeremy Freeman told the <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-14286823/Expert-lip-reader-message-Pep-Guardiola-Stefan-Ortega-Man-City-boss-goalkeeper.html" target="_blank"><em>Daily Mail</em></a><em> </em>that Guardiola instructed Ortega to "take the yellow" - indicating the goalkeeper should have prepared to pick up a booking for time-wasting.</p><p><strong></strong></p>

WHAT THE LIP READER SAID

<p>Manchester City go back out on the road again for their next two fixtures. Guardiola's side take on Ipswich Town in the Premier League on Sunday and then face a crunch Champions League tie at Paris Saint-Germain on Wednesday.</p>
